We are blood-thirsty enough, God knows, without making things
out any worse than they are. Our murder rate per 100,000
unquestionably exceeds that of most of the countries of
western Europe, but, as the saying is, "there's a reason." If
our homicide statistics related only to the white population
of even the second generation born in this country we should
find, I am convinced, that we are no more homicidal than
France and Belgium, and less so than Italy.
